Our Philosophy
The Meridian Street Preschool Cooperative operates with the understanding that children and parents learn together through play.
Play is the work of children. The child's school day is balanced between free time and more structured activities such as songs, stories, show and tell, and snack.
During free play children are allowed and encouraged to move freely from one activity or play area to another as they wish. They decide whether to play indoors or outside.
Our preschool provides a wide range of play areas and activities from which the children may choose during free-play time each day.
By offering choices, we recognize the uniqueness of each child and his special interests and needs at any particular time. This freedom of choice fosters the complete development of the child.
By regulary dedicating their time in the classoom, our parents choose to play an integral role in their child's early education.
